Lysosomes break down cellular waste products, fats, carbohydrates, proteins. What are the characteristics of all living things? reproduction metabolism cellular organization -require energy to carry on life processes -able to reproduce -composed of cells living things What are all living organisms composed of? cells What characteristic of all living things does homeostasis relate most directly to? stability What is the process by which organisms make more of their own kind? reproduction Luring Mid term Biology cut apart and study This is what causes children to resemble their parents heredity During what process does carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of light, used to form sugars and oxygen gas? photosynthesis What is an hypothesis? testable possible explanation of an observation How are scientific hypotheses most often tested? by the process of experimenting What is the planned procedure to test a hypothesis? experiment What is the variable that is measured in an experiment? independent What are atoms composed of? protons, neutrons, electrons Where are the electrons of an atom? occupy the space surrounding the nucleus What is the smallest particle of matter that can retain the chemical properties of carbon? carbon atom What is a substance that is composed of only one type of atom? element What is all matter composed of? atoms What kind of molecules do Ionic bonds form between? opposite charges What pH do Acidic solutions have? less than 7 What are organic macromolecule? carbohydrate lipid nucleic acid What is sucrose? a carbohydrate What organic molecules are classified as carbohydrates? sugars Where are long chains of amino acids found? in proteins What are saturated fats, cholesterol, and earwax? examples of lipids What is a molecule shaped like a spiral staircase (double helix typical of? deoxyribonucleic acid What are two types of nucleic acids?
